4 cups nondairy milk such as coconut or almond (Almond milk was used for this recipe)

1 cup ice

1/4 to 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract

1/4 cup dairy free chocolate chips

Pinch of unrefined salt

Optional fresh mint leaves

Instructions

Start by freezing the nondairy milk in a bowl overnight or for at least 4 hours. Use a knife to slice down the edge of the frozen milk to lift it out of the bowl. Add to a blender and blend on low, scarping down the sides. Once it has reached a creamy consistency, add the peppermint extract, most of the chocolate chips, and optional fresh mint leaves then blend on low until everything has combined. Top with additional chocolate chips and mint. Enjoy!
